## What it does

The `writ-mcp` connector operates as a transparent proxy between stdio-based clients and Writ Cloud. All tool definitions and schemas live on the coordinator side, meaning the connector requires zero updates when new tools become available. It runs on Node 18 or higher and consists of a single file with no external dependencies.

Assistants gain access to 39 tools to execute browser tasks, read extracted data tables, and scrape web pages into markdown. Users can schedule automated runs at set intervals or turn workflows into callable REST endpoints. Passing `WRIT_API_KEY` through environment variables avoids exposing your secret token to process inspection tools like `ps`.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Remote server: `https://api.usewrit.app/mcp`
- Environment variables: `WRIT_API_KEY` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.
